A Paradox: Israeli Arabs vs. Illegal African Migrants

Ah, the tormenting mental gymnastics that the following paradox is causing Israeli leftists....

Today (Thursday) in Kfar Manda, an Israeli Arab village in the lower Galilee, Israeli Arabs lost their cool, and had an all out rumble with the illegal African migrants who have been occupying the town after too much noise was erupting from an apartment of Sudanese.

For over an hour, Kfar Manda became a battle zone between the residents and the illegal African migrants, and the Israeli police had to intervene with force, -- including the use of tear gas. The Kfar Manda Arabs decided that they "had enough" of the Sudanese and decided to evict them all using bats, rocks and knives. The Israeli police intervention prevented bloodshed, yet the police decided for the Sudanese protection to evict all of them from the village. (anwrs.net, rotter.net)

Here are some pictures after the rumble, the eviction of the illegal Sudanese, and a video of the police trying to clean up the mess.

The question is - how will Israeli leftists spin this story? They must sympathize with the Illegal Sudanese migrants because after all - they are illegal. Yet its unethical to blame Israeli Arabs for their behaviour...

In fact, Haaretz is so embarrassed by the scenario they don't even have the report on their English edition website, only in Hebrew. Yet even in Hebrew, they try to soften the blow by headlining the article "Due to altercation, 100 Sudanese leave Kfar Manda." (Nothing about the eviction by the police).

I feel bad for the Israeli Arabs. They have it tough enough as is without having to worry about the illegal African migrants occupying their town as well.
